I live in the country and I am surrounded by fields. I really hate to see dandelions in the lawn so I spend hours every week digging them out. Is there an easier way to kill them, or is there any way I can stop them coming into my garden?

Hey,

Unfortunately, I can't think of any realistic way to stop the seeds coming into your garden. There are lawn feed and weed granules/sprays that only target moss and the broadleaves of weeds. They can be expensive if you need repeqated applications on a large area but are quite effective. Hope this is of some help.

Ive surrendered in the dandelion fight. Ever heard the phrase If you've got lemons, make lemonade? Well I took it on board and made dandelion fizz last year with my dandelion flowers. Wonderful stuff! Easy peasy and worth a try. just google dandelion fizz for recipes.
